Our Constitutional Republic faces a clear and present danger more deadly than that of the Civil War. The danger is the Republican Party, a "political party" that has sold out to white supremacy, autocracy, misogyny, and hatred of everything our Nation stands for. Republicans dismiss any sense of a common American narrative. The "Republican Party" is an outlier in our history – ideologically extreme; contemptuous of social and economic policies that have sustained us for a century; unwilling to compromise; dismissive of evidence, fact, and science; dismissive of the legitimacy of any viewpoint except their own. America needs to face the simple, frightening fact that the Republican Party is a clear and present danger to our Constitutional Republic.

Some people are unbearably stupid and proud of it

What can we expect from people who believe:

an election was ‘stolen’ without a shred of evidence,
who believe that M&Ms are part of a leftist agenda,
who believe that vaccines contain tracking devices meant to spy on them,
who believe that Antifa stormed the Capitol on January 6th in order to stop the man they wanted to be president from being certified as such, and
who believe that Biden is about to confiscate their gas stoves?

We certainly cannot expect them to understand the difference between stealing classified documents and repeatedly lying about it and uncovering classified documents and immediately returning them to NARA.

Expecting the Unbearably Stupid to smarten-up is like expecting bears to stop shitting in the woods and start shitting in the Capitol rotunda, which is what “patriotic” Republicans do.
